[Android Themes] mejorguille:
The reason why there are not many HDPI themes in this section goes back a long time when the G1 and MT3G were the only android phones...

The thread is here. Some "genious" decided to move all the G1 themes to the android themes section, so it became the de jure place for G1 themes. When other android phones came out, they did not enforce them to move the themes to this section. Now G1 themes almost exclusively go in here de facto and themes for other phones go in their respective phone sections. It's a messed up system, but you gotta live with it.

Well looks like my time with the slide is done. Gonna sell it but not sure if I'm allowed to mention that. Loved every bit of the phone but went and played with the vibrant and couldn't help but fall in love with it. It's been fun!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
What did you like about the vibrant? Been thinking bout getting one of those to try out.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] jnight666:
My friend just got a Vibrant and its damn fast and hella thin...

Also the screen is awesome!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
i played with the vibrant for a few hours last night and i will say the screen res was absolutely to die for, but really other than that it's an iphone running android with live wallpapers and that's just not for me. it certainly has the specs to be a good phone and it's nice looking if you are the iphone type, but it's "backed" by samsung and that's a killer for me. had HTC made the phone it would be a whole different game at this point
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Don't be fooled by the Vibrant. Samsungs track record with cell phones is not good at all! The phone is hot now, but what will happen when it's time for firmware updates? Let me tell you, Samsung definitely doesn't stay up-to-date on that. You will see better phones from more reliable vendors come out here later on this year and the beginning of next year!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
So I played with the Vibrant and it is basically Tmobile version of a better iphone. I actually liked the interface and the graphics are awesome, BUT when I did a speed test of the Vibrant and my Mytouch Slide, to my surprise, my Slide did better both times on the upload and download. Both phones were running on the 3G network. How crazy is that?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tonyriceroni:
not that crazy actually :|
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Why is that? Because I certainly was not expecting that!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Differences in radios, antennas, firmware, software, etc. can all play a role in the maximum speed you will be able to obtain.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
This is very true, and I am guilty of assuming that the Vibrant was going to be faster. However, I was pleasantly surprised when my Slide came out on top! It made me appreciate it that much more.

Yesterday I tried to use Bing to get some local info, and I got thise trash. :mad:

The client update link is visible, but if you pres it you get the same "update?" BS.

So... Microsoft, if this is your attempt to funnel people toward WP7 BEFORE it's as usable, or *customizable* the current versions of WM devices, then by all means go f**k yourselves.

I'll be a Droid user if this is the game they want to play. :mad::mad::mad:

With that being said, if anybody has a useful work-around that DOES NOT involve the incredibly ****ty m.bing.com site then by all means, I would appreciate it.

PS:

If this is the wrong forum, i apologize. but i'm looking for help on this one if possible.

[General Questions and Answers] Rick77:
BING app stopped from working

Hello Sean D,

I have encountered the same problem with the Bing app running on my at&t TILT. Have you gotten any more feedback, how to correct this problem? Like I mentioned, I'm running a TILT w/WM v6.1 and I'm really not in any mood to go thru the 'possible' upgrade to v6.5. I'm not a graet fan of bing, but the mobile app was perfect for getting info when quickly needed. I will not run the browser version.

hey fellow XDA WM devs and users and forum people,

Greetings,

so I am asking whether not WM devices are capped on using 25+mb of RAM for each app...

If so, can I assume that this is the reason why we cannot have stunning graphic games just like the other compatitor platforms (iOS, Android) ??

also, a reply tweet from one of my favourite game dev:

http://twitter.com/Isotope244/status/16152606483

any comments or answers are greatly apprerciated

Kind Regards :)
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
Processes in winmo can only access 32 mb of virtual memory (with a max of 32 processes). There's normally at least 7 mb or so of memory allocated to dll's for all processes (sometimes more). 32-7=25 mb. I think that's what the developer is talking about. This is changing with WP7, where all process will have full access to 1 GB of virtual memory (limited by the amount of availabe RAM).
[General Questions and Answers] ClementNg23:
thanks farmer tad for your reply....

now its all clear to me :)

thanks.

(oh lol... then what's thhe point of phones having all those extra RAM while the OS cannot use them, at all?)

thanks :D
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'm a B&O fan so I went for the black, it doesn't look as flashy as the white but it probably won't get as dirty.
[XPERIA X10 General] KurskS:
The black one looks more elegant, the white one looks more fashionable but I just love thd rubbery feeling of the black one's battery cover, especially when ur hand get sweat, u will feel dirty holding the white one.
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I see the white one as more feminine, but lots of people disagree with me...Why are you asking other people to make up your decision for you? Which color do you like better?

Also, official Android 2.1 release should occur before October.

...turn on the phone and mess with it till the battery is completely dead, and recharge it to 100%

or

charge it fully 100% before turning it on for the first time?

i havent had a new phone in a while but i remember that most companies suggested doing one of those things? something about maintaining long-term battery life
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I don't think it effects modern batteries as much with that whole 'refresh the power cycle' business.

Either way: I needed the phone for the rest of the day, so I ended up charging mine right away. Hasn't been wonky, aside from the icon not matching up with the percentage of battery left.

Otherwise, I will note: overall battery life has been pretty amazing. The SAMOLED screen really is unbelievable...
[Vibrant General] acjames:
I used mine without a full charge too. Loaded all my apps and did a root.
[Vibrant General] speedysilwady:
ah alright thanks so i guess ill just let it charge right away then! =]

oh and the battery icon isnt a glitch or anything, android uses, i believe, 5 images to represent the battery icon up top. always has, at least on my g1. they represent certain percent ranges like 5-15 16-30 and so on. kinda sucks but ive never found it a big deal on my g1 and when cyanogenmod came out with the percentage overlay over the battery icon i was irritated and frustrated by my g1's battery life so imo its better to just get the warning at 15% cuz if i see it dropping constantly i get paranoid lol

MS_Guru posted earlier to manually install these Samsung USB drivers since the installer is problematic.

Can someone reply with a step-by-step guide to installing them? Obviously, the first step is to plug in the phone via the USB cable to the Windows machine. From there, what is next?
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
Download them to your comp... Click the .exe

If that was difficult I am going to recommend using droid explorer to setup adb...

Google droid explorer and click the setup .exe

Then read the first post that says "read before posting"

I can't seem to get any of my sound/display settings to stick. Even after selecting a ringtone, and hitting OK, going back into the selection just resets to the default AT&T sound :/ I'm using Launcher Pro as my "home screen" and I have rooted the phone. Anyone know how to remedy this situation?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
ur ringtone settins.. Are you trying to apply them to google contacts or contacts that are physically on your phone? Also tell us what display changes you are trying to make and exactly the steps you are taking so we can try to replicate this experience at home and advise you better.
[Captivate General] masterofthebass:
settings -> sound and display -> voice call ringtone -> (select different ringtone) -> OK -> home.

It refuses to change to anything but the default AT&T one. It plays all of the other tones, as a preview, but will not stay changed to it.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
so lets say you pick bird loop, select ok, and then click voice call ringtone again, the little dot is back next to the att default ringtone?
[Captivate General] masterofthebass:
yes (10char)

wow. im speechless. Maybe you should try a factory data reset?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mmafighter077:
I think its time for a new HD2 Section... What do you think. Mods?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eosrider:
Rarely do I post but I do read (and seach) all the time. I believe that the initial problem with adding a section for android is that android is not at all ready for the HD2, respectively.

While I do sit back in amazement with how fast development is moving along, adding a android section would bring even more "one timers" (folks that register just to ask a question that has been answered 20 times before) and flood the boards even more than they were when the HTC-LINUX discussion was open.

Its my opinion that though android is looking spectacular at this point, until there is a reliable way to flash android to NAND or at least a build that can hold its own without making you reboot your phone over and over, the temporary solutions that the mods have decided upon should stay in place.

Id like to conclude this post by saying thank you to the team for continuing to develop the linux kernel and various builds on their free time.

Good day.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ~~Tito~~:
Wait until it can be flashed before you propose this. Having a ROM of android that can be flashed is better than using it through a loader.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobbyTouchHD:
It would be great when there will be a android rom in the next days! The newest android is really great and smooth! Why don´t try to flash it to internal stonage?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Because they still need winmo to initialize a lot of the hardware. Only 1 or 2 winmo devices have flashable android roms out of over a dozen devices that have android ports... most having been developed for years. It will probably still be a while before there is a flashable rom... I don't see the appeal, anyways. It doesn't improve performance much, if any. And it takes away the ability to have both winmo and android on your phone. If you want to only run android, why not get an android device? By the time there is flashable android roms for the HD2, there will probably be android phones with specs and screen equal or better for all the carriers and countries people say they can't get good android phones for.

Why would you want to flash android instead of having the ability to run both winmo and android, and any other linux ports that are released? Is there any reason? I would much prefer a dual-booting power phone than making it just another android phone that probably won't run as well as a native android phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobbyTouchHD:
Ok you´re right! I didn´t think like you before but you´re really right!

But a faster sd card would speed the android up a bit right? I just have a class 4 card...I think I have to buy a faster one ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidMc0:
This is a good & thoughtful opinion, though I feel that a section just for Android will allow people to more easily access the basic information that 'one timers' want to get, so a new section might help this problem rather than making it worse.

It would keep it all in one place, which would leave the ROM development section for WinMo rom discussion only.

There have been Android sections for Xperia, Pro2, Pro, Blackstone etc while the port was much more immature than the HD2 Port.

Now almost everything is working in Android, and there's lots of discussion & various people putting builds together on a regular basis.

Due to this progress and huge level of interest, I think it's time for a separate section for Android on HD2.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Demon_man:
I only voted yes because im sick of seeing threads with android questions posted all over, its boring now, I see Android as a dual boot-able os, not something i wanna take my phone over with
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Look at the other ports on other devices. Go read the threads. Sometimes when flashed to nand they will lose some functionality until they get driers right and every initializes right.

And Android does not run on top of winmo... where do you get that from?? Android is running stand-alone while it's running. It all runs from ram... only speed difference is the speed that data gets sent to ram, which is quicker with nand, but not enough to make a big difference. Haret shuts down the windows ce kernel and boot the linux kernel. You can't have 2 kernels running at once. The windows kernel does help by initializing some hardware, but it get completely shut down. Thats why you can't just close out of android and go back to windows. Its not emulated. I've been playing with these android ports for years using haret with many different winmo devices.

Having a faster memory card probably make some difference, too, but again, only with certain tasks. Most things I don't think you'd see a huge speed difference in actual operation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baskient80:
I think YES !!!

i don't think that an android section would get more people asking for android builds. Especially if you add a sticky in top of the section regarding the progress of android and that it's not finished yet. I think it should be a android development thread only so people that are interested in the development know were to look.

Futhermore i think there should be a good explenation on how to install android and get it working so people can easily try android for themselves and see that it's not nearly opperational yet.

last but not least. there'll always be people asking if android is finished. These people are just too ignorant to recognize how a forum works and read a thread. They are not actually interested in the progress of all the great developers here but just want a quick fix to show of to their friends. They should brick there device and buy an android phone.

don't let the people that are really interested suffer from the ignorant fools.

sorry but i needed to get that of my chest.

that's my opinion,

greets Boris.

Thanks for adding this new forum ! I always like how XDA staff is listening to their users.

I see a problem about this forum though:

'HD2 Android Development' naming is erroneous for following two reasons:

-Most elementary progress is seated in the kernel - which has nothing to do with android in the first place. The kernel is Linux and not Android.

-Android is not the only userland based on Linux that is available. As seen here there is ubuntu and other stuff.

I therefore vote we rename the forum to 'HD2 Linux and Android development'

I have seen a ubuntu thread already where the user complains he is actually posting in the wrong subforum due to this naming problem.
